I know an app that can already do this but it also has a feature to keep the background vocals for a real karaoke experience. And the instrumental version leaves no trace of the lead vocal. Apple Music is late!

Search for the words vocal remover on the apple store. It’s the one with 5 stars and the 10K+ ratings. It has the ability to extract stems too. Not sure if this is on android

HIFI + instrumental access all included  whats next? audio controls so you can make it slowed&reverb/ sped up?

So Moises? Is there a reason you’re being coy about it?

Artists should just include instrumentals with their album releases. Labels in the 80s used to include them on CDs with standard releases  and stopped for some reason. Asian music artists have been releasing instrumentals for ages

[Power love]

Even this bombs hard Spotify will have the last laugh

Truly. The way they announced this feature earlier this year and never released it along with HiFi quality music

Not Apple giving everyone free access to instrumentals, I --   I will not be changing music services, but it will be interesting to see how artists respond to this decision.

 

If it's an instrumental / stem free-for-all,  then I can't imagine that most artists will be happy about it. 

 

The artist will get paid for that stream just like they would if it was an actual instrumental version.

now i can finally enjoy halsey's music

Agreed. Instrumental versions not only honour the intricate production work that goes on a song, but also allow listeners to discover subtle elements they may not have noticed before, leading to even further appreciation for the tune. They're also amazing for work-outs and background music.

 

I know Post Malone released a 'Complete Edition' of his debut "Stoney" on its 5-year anniversary featuring the instrumentals for all tracks on the album. He also released the official instrumental versions for "Wow." and "Circles". The Weeknd also did it for "Blinding Lights", "Die For You", "Take My Breath", and "Out Of Time" - the latter as part of a remix EP which in my opinion should be standard practice for artists.

 

 

Then there's Taylor Swift who used to do Karaoke editions of her albums when she was still at Big Machine, which is also something that should be brought back. Not only for the obvious practical usage for karaoke, but also because many love discovering hidden background vocals.

Nailed it! I have a feeling Taylor’s karaoke was Scott Borschetta’s idea. She hasn’t released any new ones ever since she left Big Machine Records. It’s a shame. I’m grateful for apps like Moises and the new Apple Music vocal remover feature but nothing beats the actual original instrumental. I want the real thing!

No. It’s not even available for all iPhones. Only for iPhone 11 and newer devices.
